Couldn't find a way to put in on one of the sidebars, so this will just have to sufice. LOL

The Circus Train

I thought I was seeing Water for Elephants all over again, but only it was behind my house and Jacob (Robert Pattinson) wasn't on the train waving as they went by!!

This was the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train that comes by our house about twice a year.  It's always a treat to see the beautiful train, unfortunately I didn't get to see the beginning this time, only the 20 or so cars.  I did get to take some pictures this time though, and that was a wonderful feeling.

The END

I have never personally went to any circus, but often wanted to when I was a child.  My youngest son wanted to go this past year, but with the cost I don't think we could afford it.  So seeing the train is the next best thing!

Got a new book today

Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbohm

Wasn't really looking for books for me, but this one just caught my eye.  I will start reading it in a few days and do a review.

No Glasses Needed! Are You Sure?

Yep, that is what our new eye doctor said about Curtis today; No Glasses Needed!!!  Curtis has been wearing glasses for 2 years now mainly for watching TV, computer work or doing school time.  Now after spending all the money we have spent, he does not need them.

He is concerned still that Curtis suffers from Dyslexia and will benefit from testing, so he told me about Lexercise.  Lexercise is an on-line site that helps test children and adults for things like dyslexia.  

We are going to do the test this week, and see what Curtis' needs are.

Books I am Reading or Would Like to Read

I am currently reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith!

Loving this book, can't wait till the movie comes out.

Oh Leapin' Lizzards

Or in our case, Newts!!

Yes, we now are the proud owners of 6 Eastern Newts, aka: Red-Spotted Newt.

Here is a little bit about the Eastern Newt

We may get a few fish to put in the aquarium with them later and a few large snails just to keep things clean.

Lost a Hermit Crab

Curtis lost a Hermit Crab a few days ago, Sir Crabs A-Lot passed away on March 9, 2012.  We thought that he was getting ready to molt, but it turned out that was not the case. :(  Curtis was very sad to have lost him and I had him wait several days before getting another crab.
